Character Profile for Charles and Kanunu

D. Charles Barrington Smythe

Male. English
Age: 43
Height: 190cm
A member of the English aristocracy. Well brought-up, he has a calm character. Beneath his well-trimmed moustache you can always see his friendly smile. He has been training in secret and is a pretty powerful player. He's good on the approach and tends to hit straight. He really loves Earl Grey Tea.

Kanunu

Male. American - Hawaii
Age: 25
Height: 205cm
A former sumo wrestler. Unimaginably nimble considering his massive 300kg weight, he's very popular due to his dancing and singing! He's also good at golf and has top class power. His control is bad, so if he misses, the ball will fly off straight out of bounds!? He's good in the rough and in the bunker, but bad at the approach. He tends to do a high straight. In any case, he cannot curve. He's strong when it rains and really bad in summer. Obviously, he likes to eat chanko-nabe (sumo tofu and meat stew).

A choice of 6 fun and challenging courses featuring diverse terrain awaits you. From a cactus filled red rock desert to a classic English course with deep rough and pot bunkers, Ace Golf provides all the elements needed for a classic round or two. Featuring four modes of play for one-to-four players including Tournament, Stroke, Match and Short Course. Try the addictive mini games such as 'Nearest to the pin' that is played on a nine-hole, par three course.

Choose from one of 14 offbeat characters such as Sonny, a rowdy, leather-clad biker or Lisa, an ultra-fit ex-military gal each with their own distinct personalities and golfing abilities. You can also select from a crew of six fast-talking caddies ready to offer encouragement and advice.

Ace Golf is ideal for all golfing levels. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a first time player Ace Golf's intuitive controls allow you to fine tune your swing. Integrating the club's swinging power and shot accuracy into one smooth action using the Nintendo GameCube C Stick leaves you more time to plan your winning shot.

As well as intuitive controls Ace Golf also offers a whole host of customising options to personalise your game. Alter the difficulty level by turning off distance gauges and wind speed meters, or equalising skill levels in the multiplayer modes allows everyone to compete on a level playing field. You can also upgrade your golf gear by winning tournaments and beating rivals, and for that everlasting memory, Ace Golf players can save those once-in-a-lifetime shots to show to their friends.
